Patent GB-190903939-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Treatment of Natural Nitrates.
Inventor: VAUTIN CLAUDE
IPC: C01D9/02
Filed: 1909-02-17
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 3939. Vautin, C. Feb. 17. Lixiviating. -- In the process for extracting nitrates in which the raw material is ground and agitated with water, the pulp so obtained is subjected to vacuum filtration. In some cases, the granular part of the residue may be separated in a classifying system, such as pointed-boxes, before subjecting the pulp to vacuum filtration; or the nitrate may be wholly extracted during the crushing operation, the entire product from the crushing-apparatus being run directly on to an horizontal vacuumfilter. It is preferred to effect the solution at temperatures below those usually employed. For example, the raw material is crushed in water, which may be at ordinary temperature, and, if solution is incomplete, the material is subjected to further agitation. The agitation apparatus is of the known type consisting of an upright vessel with a conical bottom and a vertical central tube, up which a jet of compressed air or steam is directed for agitating the contents of the vessel. The vessel may be covered to collect the steam given off, which would otherwise be wasted.

Title: Improvements in Commutators of Dynamo Electric Machines.
Inventor: PARSONS CHARLES ALGERNON
IPC: H01R39/14
Filed: 1909-05-04
Granted: 1910-04-28
Abstract: 10,588. Parsons, C. A., Law, A. H., and Stockbridge, J. P. May 4. Commutators.-In commutators for dynamoelectric machines, particularly such as are driven at a high speed by steam turbines, the means for holding the segments in place is entirely contained within the commutator. Longitudinal T-shaped or dovetail projections c, Fig. 1, upon a hub a, which may or may not be part of the spindle, engage with recesses in the segments b. The projections c may extend the whole length of the commutator or may be interrupted. The segments b are drawn towards the centre in a radial direction by means of wedges e, or by forming the projections c and the corresponding recesses in the segments b tapering. In a modification shown in Fig. 8, the central hub is formed with ring-shaped dovetailed projections l engaging with corresponding grooves in the commutator bars, the construction being tightened up by means of a nut n. In another modification the hub a is provided with bolts f, Fig. 9, screwed radially outwards or locked into the commutator bars, suitable insulation d being provided between the hub a and bolts for between the bolts and the segments b. In a further modification, the commutator may be held together by linking each segment b, Fig. 12, to its neighbour on each side by linking-members p, or by forming T-shaped or dovetail slots d, Fig. 13, in the sides of the segments and forcing in suitably-shaped keys k. These keys may be driven in axially or radially and may have wedges in addition, or they may take the form of projections on the commutator bars. To prevent the mica from flying out as the commutator wears away, it is made thicker on the inside than on the outside ; or it may be held in place by small projections in the commutator bars.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 543. Dreher, P. J. Jan. 9. Musical instruments.-The apparatus is adapted to play automatically a number of tunes proportionate to the value of the coin inserted, and, in the arrangement shown, is constructed to take coins of four different values, nickels, dimes, and quarter and half dollars. There is a separate mechanism for each value of coin, these mechanisms being arranged side by side between pairs of plates 2, and each mechanism being connected to the switch of the electric driving-motor by a spring-controlled bar 10, a projection on which works in a slot 45 in a plate 44 pivoted to the switch arm 38. The insertion of a coin frees the corresponding bar 10, which moves to the left under the action of a spring 13 and lever 14, thereby closing the circuit of the driving-motor through contacts 40 against the action of a spring 41, a pawl 9 on the bar simultaneously taking behind the next tooth of the corresponding ratchetwheel 7. At the conclusion of a tune, the bellows 36 collapse, thereby withdrawing the switch arm 38 through a link 42, so as to break the motor circuit, and moving the rod 10 to the right against the action of the spring 13, the pawl 9 rotating the ratchet-wheel 7 the* space of one tooth. Coin action, weight and multiple-coin.-There is a separate shoot for each value of coin. The ' inserted coin tilts a counterweighted lever 24 so as to remove the tail 24<11> from a projection 27 on the corresponding bar 10. Coin-discharging mechanism.-The coin is prevented from escaping past the extremity 24<1> of the lever 24 by a pivoted spring-controlled stop 25, which is rocked to permit the coin to escape and the lever 24 to lock the bar 10 by the engagement of projections 19 on a disk 17, which rotates with the ratchet-wheel 7, with the arm 30 of the stop 25. The ratchet-wheels 7 have ten teeth, and the disks 17 for the nickels, dimes, quarter and half dollars, have ten, five, two, and one projections respectively, so as to permit the production of one, two, five, and ten tunes respectively.
